These files were installed fairly ad-hoc into the share/gnucash/scm directory making
it hard to get an idea of where each file comes from.
The files are now structured as follows:
- any scm file authored by gnucash should go in share/gnucash/scm/gnucash or below
- most scm modules will be directly in that directory
- each module that comes with support files will get a subdirectory named after the
module's base name. For example next to engine.scm there will be directory
named engine for all support files of the engine module
- scm files that are not modules, but are loaded by modules go into
<module-dir>. For example gnc-utils.scm loads gnc-menu-extensions.scm
so that file will be installed in gnc-utils/gnc-menu-extensions.scm
- the report system is our largest module and only part of the restructuring
is done at this point. It will be refined further in future commits.
The same restructuring is also done for the compiled files.
This allows direct conversion between Scheme numbers and gnc_numeric
without the performance or accuracy penalties arising from using doubles
as an intermediary.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
